“She was the centre of our world and made our lives special. Nothing will cast a shadow over that.”
“Our girls will get the love and support they need.”
“It saddens us that the press and public wrongly accused their dad, vilified friends and family. This is appalling and those responsible must be held accountable.”

“Thank you to those who supported us privately. The community, friends, neighbours and strangers have been a comfort.”
“Our hearts break for others with missing loved ones. Keep hope alive.”
“Nicola, you are no longer missing. You can rest now. We love you, always have and always will. We’ll take it from here.”
